Mirajane dragged Jess to the guild. "Oh, come on Jess! It sure will be fun!" It was Christmas Eve. And of course the guild arranged a big party. "No, it won't be fun, Mira. Gray will be there too, so NO FUN!" Jess was really pissed off. "I don't want to go!" "I don't remember, that I asked you if you want to go.", Mirajane stated with a smirk. 'Geez! What have I done?' They soon reached the guild and Mirajane wanted to drag Jess through the main entrace. "No Mira. I really like you, but I don't want to kiss you!" Jess pointed at the mistletoe in the doorway. Mirajane grinned. "Oh, yeah..." She pushed Jess into the building. "See, you survived." Jess just glared at Mirajane. "Don't you dare to do that again." Mirajane frowned. "You glare exact same manner as Erza... It's creepy." "If looks could kill..." Jess whirled around and glared at Natsu. "Want to say something? Firebrain?" Natsu shrieked and hid behind Elfman. "Just hurry Mira..." Jess trailed off. "Oh, I think I go to the bar. I want to drink something... Maybe it'll help..." With that Jess went to the bar and ordered a drink. "Hey beauty..." "Loke, fuck off." "Oh, the tigress bares her claws." Loke purred. Jess mentally facepalmed. Then she smirked. "Wanna play a game, Loke?", she chirped. Loke raised an eyebrow. "What kind of...?", he asked sceptically. "If anyone can defeat me in a contest, I promise, that I'll go on a date with said man." Loke smirked. "What is the contest about?" "Pick-up lines", Jess said with a cocky grinn. "Okay. I'll begin..." Loke thought for a few minutes. "Aww, c'mon Lokeeee..." Jess whined. "Girl, you better have a license, cuz you are driving me crazy." Jess laughed. "That's really bad Loke..."
~~~time skip~~~
After 30 minutes Jess had won against Loke. Mirajane smiled at Erza, who stood behind Gray. The red-haired wizard nodded and smirked. "Who's next?" Jess leaned against the counter and played with a strand of her black hair. Erza pushed Gray towards Jess. "I think, he volunteers..." "Bring it on Gray", Jess said coolly. 'I can't believe it. Why he? Agh, I don't think, that he know some good lines... He's way to simple minded.' Gray smiled at her. "Do you have an sunburn, or are you always that hot?" 'OMG! I can't believe it. He seems to have a brain... And he's so sweet...' Jess blushed lightly. 'But I won't let him win that easily.' "I must be a snowflake, 'cuz I've fallen for you." Gray smirked, but Jess thought, that there was a faint blush on his cheeks. 'I must be seeing things...' "Could you stay away from me? You're melting my ice, since you are so hot..." Jess blushed a deep shade of red, but she wasn't going to give up. Erza and Mirajane watched the contest and smiled at one another. Gray was getting closer to Jess, who stood at the counter and was trapped. 'Oh crap... Why is he so damn hot? I need another line...' "I must be a celestial spirit, because you have the key to my heart." Gray was blushing too, but he continued. "I can't believe, that you're an ice mage. You are way to hot." By now, Gray stood right in front of Jess, she could feel his cold breath against her hot cheeks. The raven-haired boy leaned forward, his lips were brushing against the girl's left ear. "Maybe I can cool you down", he wispered in a husky voice, sending cold shivers down her spine. Jess was blushing furiously now, her heart was racing and thumping against her chest. She opened her mouth to say something, but she was to puzzled to find the right words. Gray smirked and his lips slowly found their way to Jess' lips. His left hand found it's way to the back of her head and entangled itself in her black locks. Then he kissed her. The girl responded to the kiss, she loved the feeling of his cold lips against her own. 'He tastes like mint and snow...' The young man pushed her against the counter and deepened the kiss, sucking on her lower lip. Suddenly the girl pushed him away. In the meantime Erza and Mira had shooed the guild members out of the guild, so the two of them were alone. Jess wanted to run away, but Gray grabbed her wrist and turned her around. "What's the matter?", he asked her worried. "I don't think, that I can do this..." The blue eyed boy pulled her to his chest and grabbed her chin. Jess was still looking down onto her feet. "Look at me. Please", he whispered silently. The black-haired wizard hesitantliy looked up and focused on his beautiful eyes. Gray softly caressed her cheek with his cold and slender fingers. "I maybe don't know anything about our past, but I do know one thing." He smiled softly at the girl in his arms. She looked up at him with big eyes. "I love you Jess. I love you and I'll prove you, that you can trust me. I promise." Jess looked up to the ice mage. Tears were rolling down her cheeks, but he brushed them away with his thumbs. She smiled softly too. She leaned her head against his chest and closed her eyes, listening to Gray's steady heartbeat. "I... I love you too, Gray." She blushed softly when Gray wrapped his arms around her and rested his chin on top of her head. "You know, you said this to me before. A few months ago, when I was new to the guild, after you rescued me, we went on a mission together. On the first night of this trip, you kissed me. And even though I pushed you away, you promised me, that you'll show me, that I can trust you. And then, when we were fighting against the demon, to save the village and to fulfill our quest, you nearly got killed. That's why you don't remember anything about me. You said back there, that you loved me..." Jess lost her voice and inhaled Gray's scent instead. He kissed her again, then he pulled away. "It's alright. I'm here now. Nothing will happen to you, I promise. I would give up everything I have, just to be with you." He grinned and leaned forward. "I think, you'll have to go on a date with me. How about now? We'll go to my place and I'll cook something." Jess nodded happily.
They walked out of the guild and headed towards Grey's place, holding hands... (I'll leave the rest up to your imagination ^^)
